at the close of the meeting, and everybody
invited to participate. With us the idea
proved great success and blessing to
the association, increasing our attendance
from an average of thirty-five TO an aver
age of sixty-five, and in four months Civ

the greatest value rs q social feature, and
in no way contlicted with the spirit of the
gospel meetings. The time and trouble in
getting up the lunch is amply paid for by
the increased attendance, and costs hut
little, as il is nearly always donated by the
lady friends OF the association.
